Black Haw Viburnum Shrub

The Black Haw Viburnum shrub is native to central and eastern North America. It is deciduous, with a multi-stemmed, upright habit; however, it can be grown as a single-trunked small tree. In the spring, this shrub develops ovate leaves with finely serrated edges. Along the main vein of each leaf, the sides bow up, creating a boat-like shape. The scientific name prunifolium pays homage to the fact that the leaves resemble those of the Black Cherry.
